Less than Jordan is a fine argument. Less than Kobe is downright ridiculous

Pretty sure the Cavs already erased that image


They did but I said he was cementing his legacy, meaning coming home and closing that chapter and reinforcing how he changed the franchise.

Getting James Harden a ring as a starting PG at this stage of career would be Lebron’s biggest accomplishment.

Not sure why more people don’t agree with this. We’re very much in the minority with that order. It’s bizarre.

MJ
Kobe

LBJ

Lebron going back the first time was much better than if he went back again

He did this in 2016. I’m no Lebron fan, but he brought the elusive title to Cleveland by knocking off the 73-win Warriors after being down 3-1. It’s done. He cannot top that.

I'd take Kobe. The play of both pretty much equal out based on your preference, so it comes down to stats. 5 teams had Kobe as the leader or number 2 and won titles. 4 teams with LeBron as their leader or 2nd man(Miami) won titles. 5 is greater than 4 in the most important stat there is for alpha athletes particularly in pro basketball. Titles are the bar. Kobe leads.
2nd stat, Kobe literally had the franchise rebuilt around his skillset, even trading away a still dominant Shaquille O'Neal to do so. Lebron chose to chase titles instead of having Cleveland built around him and winning titles. Would Lebron even have 4 if he had stayed in Cleveland throughout? Doubtful.

Remember when he took a courtside interview and said he was meh on it but probably leaning retiring mid game(I think, maybe it was pre-game) because his GOAT coach and system was leaving?

Same system that won 5 more rings.

LeBron would have been in a dream world as a soccer player where flopping is encouraged and rewarded

James is the superior player at this part of their careers.

Titles are the bar? Bill Russell.

Not to mention Shaq was the best player for 3 of Kobe 5 Rings.

Edit: LeBron also never did anything nefarious in a hotel in Denver and then admitted to not knowing what consent was afterwards.
